Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe Black Series (2012) CAR review

Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe Black Series (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman (on-road photography by Greg Pajo), 04 January 2012 07:00

This is the Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe Black Series, a £100k rival for Porsche’s 911 GT3, Maserati’s MC Stradale and BMW’s M3 GTS. The C63 Black has a more powerful 6.2-litre V8, unique motorsport-inspired suspension, and that Black Series badge isn’t just applied to any old hot rod Merc; there have been just three prior Black Series models, with a ...

BMW 320d SE (2012) CAR review

BMW 320d SE (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

A new BMW 3-series is a big deal. The default sports saloon accounts for one third of BMW’s sales so the Munich firm can’t afford to get it wrong. Read on for CAR's first drive review of the new BMW 3-series. Bar the comedy glasses, the new BMW 3-series looks the same to me. What’s changed? More than you’d imagine. Built on ...

Suzuki Swift Sport (2011) CAR review

Suzuki Swift Sport (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 21 November 2011 10:27

In an age when Clios and Minis have 200bhp, Golfs and Meganes sport 250bhp, and the hottest A3 and 1-series offer up over 300bhp, Suzuki’s new Mk2 Swift Sport is a breath of (modest) fresh air. The four-cylinder engine remains at a mere 1.6 litres (naturally aspirated, of course), and despite it gaining a variable intake system and tweaked variable ...

Porsche 911 Carrera S (2012) CAR review

Porsche 911 Carrera S (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 21 November 2011 09:23

Either this is the moment you’ve been waiting for since the first 991-spec Porsche 911 prototypes were spotted testing on the road back in 2008, or you should look away now as we drive the first of many iterations of the new generation rear-engined icon. And rear engined it still most obviously is: that silhouette is unmistakable. The sleeker rear ...

Nissan GT-R (2012) CAR review

Nissan GT-R (2012) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Can you spot the difference? No? Come on, look really closely. In fact don’t bother, because although this is a thoroughly revised 2012 model year Nissan GT-R, it looks absolutely identical to the 2011 model. So the Nissan GT-R is still huge and brutal and indisputably Japanese. And now it’s even faster, even more capable and even more entertaining. Nissan ...

Audi Urban Concept (2011) CAR review

Audi Urban Concept (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 28 October 2011 07:00

The Audi Urban Concept is a frantic fusion of home-made soapbox racer, bubble car, quad bike, go-kart and electric runabout, creating something all-new to tempt environmentally-conscious urbanites. CAR was granted rare access to road test (okay, scoot around a closed-off car park) this plug-in 21st century quadricycle. And guess what? We've found out that Audi will soon okay the Urban Concept for low-volume ...

Audi R8 GT Spyder (2011) CAR review

Audi R8 GT Spyder (2011) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Georg Kacher (photography by Greg Pajo), 20 October 2011 14:30

This is Audi’s R8 GT Spyder, and you can think of it in one of two ways: it’s a drop-top version of the R8 GT, itself a lighter and more powerful version of the already sublime R8 V10 supercar; or it’s a Lamborghini Gallardo Performante, sanitised (slightly) by the men and women from Ingolstadt. Read on for our first drive ...

Ariel Atom Mugen (2011) CAR review

Ariel Atom Mugen (2011) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Pulman (photography by Mark Fagelson), 18 October 2011 12:45

This is the Ariel Atom Mugen. With a little help from Northamptonshire-based Mugen Euro (the European arm of Mugen, Honda’s favoured tuning partner) ten of these £50k Atoms are being built to celebrate the skeletal track car's tenth birthday. There's more power from the Mugen-tuned engine (a tweaked Type R engine in the Atom produces 245bhp; the Mugen Atom has ...
